    Default HPTuners is fired. Please help me setup w/EFI Live

    I am going to sell my hptuners equip and UPGRADE to EFI Live. What package do you guys recommend for an 02 Z06? I would like flash ability and datalogging too. Thinking about the RR, don't know yet.

    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum

    For just the Z06 and no further tuning needs for the future, V1 will work for ya.

    I started w/ V1 Scan for my 99 C5 and worked my way up through all the upgrades as I wanted more and more, as I learned more...Running V2 now (and anxiously awaiting the Black Box logging for V2 so I do not need my laptop in car...)

    V2 has some cool features and more stuff coming, if your gonna possibly go to a C-6 in the future I would go V2.

    Welcome to the forum TFZ!

    Beer nailed it - V1 will work, but what are your future plans? I personally would go with a V2 unit. The Road Runner is bad ass and will work with either V1 or V2.

    Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. We're all here to help.

    Thanks. This is a pleasant change.

    V1 = $300
    V2 = $749

    Those numbers look right? V1 does wideband input right?

    Plans:

    Wideband usage
    Nitrous
    I have a cam,heads, exhaust setup right now. You know how it goes. gotta add more, more, more.

    V1 has 2, 0-5 V inputs
    V2 has 4, 0-5 V inputs

    I have Fuel Pressure hooked up through the EGR on the PCM (can do it as one of the inputs), a Wideband on one, and plan on Nitrous Bottle pressure for the other (Dynotune Sending unit does not have the resolution needed, going with an autometer sending unit).

    With Nitrous you may want to read up on OS 5 features (its free and works w/ V1 or V2).

    For your stated goals I would recommend the commercial version. (Note, not the Workshop).

    TFZ, welcome to the forum.

    V1 is an excellent choice (and it does black box logging).

    Cheers,
    Joe

    Although there are some unique things that each software producer does (Road Runner vs RTT, custom OS, etc.), they're very similar in what you can change. If you've used one, you're more than halfway to learning the other.

    That aside I must say, not to tute our own horn, but what we have over here is a good group of knowledgeable people that can help you in your efforts. Hope to see you sticking around....best choice I've made to date.
